I'd noticed ETN difficulty going up too - my rig is doing about 230-240 a day now instead of >250 a week ago. At the moment its level with Monero for return (£13 a day) so I've stuck with ETN for now to build up a decent stash :) Looks like Sumo would be £16 a day so I'll keep an eye on that - might be worth doing ETN on one card and Sumo on the other.
Good find on those boards. I don't think my i3 CPU is ever going to pay for itself doing 62H/s! Given my experience with the Vegas disliking being the primary GPU, its a shame it doesn't have an on-board GPU. It'd probably be good with Nvidias though - maybe fill one up with some 1070s. The S9s were indeed BCH only with a massive spike in price at the same time. I've been reluctant to buy any beforehand since BTC is going up faster, but if BCH drops again it might be entirely prudent to buy some while its cheap. I'll keep an eye on that +++ On current prices though, 4x Vegas would cost the same as an S9 and return the same with the advantage of not having to deal with Bitmain or pay import duty... |

I need to find time to play around with direct pool mining more. Might have to take a look at Digibyte and ETN. Which pool are you using for those? And what are you doing for your altcoin wallets? Are you using individual wallets or multi-coin wallets? I need to get my altcoin wallets better organised. I have a Trezor on order, which should help a little, but with 30+ alts now, it's becoming a bit cumbersome keeping track of them all. |
:)I use Coinomi for Bitcoin Gold and Digibyte, official offline wallet for ETN and tried this one to see how transfer to exchange works https://github.com/electroneum/electroneum/releases
Exodus only for LTC at the moment, Electrum and Armory for BTC, Electron Cash for BCH. I think I need to get hardware wallet that supports lot of currencies as well. I used https://electromine.fr/#!/app/home and http://www.electroneum.space/ for ETN, https://dgb-scrypt.theblocksfactory.com/index for DigiByte |
Thanks Ainars +++
I think I must have 20+ different wallets now (inc Exodus, Electrum, Mist, Armory and numerous coin-specific Qt-base wallets). Heard of Coinomi but never tried it. Jaxx is another good multi-coin wallet, especially in the mobile app format, though I don't think it supports as many coins as Coinomi. |
Hi There,
Using Coinomi too. It's a nice and handy thing, though worth making a backup as phones break, get lost, stolen etc! I've used a couple of the trade functions to get a few other coins using a bit of BTC which has worked nicely. I'd like ~£50 in most the low value (less than a tenner) altcoins in the top 50/100 on coincap as they have the greatest potential to rocket and due to the market are least likely to vanish. If they don't then it's no great loss, if they do anything is possible. Aiming to sell 10% when they hit £1, £5, £10, £50, £100 etc which should give nice returns paying themselves back and leaving potential for big money! I've also got the Ledger as a hardware wallet which has reasonable coverage. Also looking at Jaxx but i've yet to need to use it. I've signed up to ETN and the wallet is on my phone and PC now. I've about 1300....I'm tempted to change coin again as WhatToMIne is showing better rates on a lot of things.... Also having a little play with Cryptopia and Binance as they've got a few coins I couldn't get anywhere else (EMC2 and IOTA) and have yet to take a few coins off the exchange, though we're talking beer money atm as I know that has risk. I had a play with WhatToMine on Asics and my S7 is showing better on Digibyte so i grabbed a few hundred the other day, though checking on returns, it seems WTM seems to estimate my return on BTC via slushpool as a lot lower than i get....Same when having a play with BCH on Viabtc pool. The rates of coins seem fair but Slushpool seems to regularly out do what they say :Confused: Must admit i'd like to set up a proxy for my two S7's and the S9 when it gets here, so I could move my 21Th/s without multi configs and reboots.... |
Decided to give this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...StoreLevelAB=5 a go , ordered 2 of them, after discount coupon and adding fast shipping it was $250 for pair and I am getting 7.35% cashback from topcashback. If I don't end up using them I guess I should be still able to sell them on ebay for a little profit, in worst case scenario I might loose a little reselling them.
Have been looking for decently priced Vegas that are available, preferably with upgraded cooling. This one looks like the cheapest available at the moment in UK https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapph...gx-38c-sp.html But I have placed pre order on French Amazon for 5 of these https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 at about £2.5k, I chose Amazon because it was cheapest i could find, they only charge when ship and you can easily cancel before shipped and there is no fuss returns even after delivery if I change my mind and they even pay return postage. They also offer price guarantee if at the time of shipping they are available cheaper elsewhere they will price match. When they will ship or if they will ship is another question as from 6 RX 580 cards I pre ordered in July I have only received 2 and cancelled the other 4 now. |
That's not a bad price on those French ones. Can you access those from Amazon UK (I can't see how) or do you have to order from the French site?
I have a question about Mining Rig Rentals... I can mine 250 ETN a day with my 3.7KH/s, which is worth about £17 at today's price. Why would anyone pay more than £17 for that hashing power when they could just buy the currency instead? :Confused: |
You have to order from french site but it's the same login and they have all your details like address, card etc, delivery is still free and it did offer me at check out if I want to charge my card in EUR or GBP.

Hmm I think I'll stick with mining ETN direct for now then.
By the way, pool.electroneum.space has very messily and for no apparent reason moved to etn.pool.spacepools.org today. Its been up and down at random all day but seems to have stabilised now. ETN has gone up such that the GTX960 can only make 3 a day now (21p) from >10 when I started so I've put it back on Nicehash for simplicity where its doing £1 a day doing Blake2 and Equihash. Interestingly it's only slowed the Vegas down about 10% - they're doing about 220 a day now so about £15. |
